We are going to be paying $650,000 because a very wealthy developer doesn't want to pay for infrastructure that will only benefit his development. Unsurprisingly this developer has been a large contributor to local politicians and in return has received large tax abatements, the most recent being the Boise Cascade site.<br /><br />This bridge will only benefit a very small number of people and does not benefit the city as a whole. The development in question was built in an area which is inaccessible when there is ice and snow. Now the developer of the property is getting this bridge built for them because they built a development in a place inaccessible at certain times.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592528272607114971noreply@blogger.com
